I am thrilled to announce the release of my book, “The Art of Meditating with Cats”. A few months ago I shared a meditation excerpt from the book. It made me very happy to hear that some of you have been doing the meditation with your animals- that is great news! For those of youContinue reading “The Art of Meditating with Cats”

I’ve been having a great time connecting with many animals and people in my communication sessions. This week I spoke to several horses, rabbits, cats, and dogs. I feel like everyday I appreciate the specialness of animals more and more. I want to help as many animals and people as possible so, if you haveContinue reading “Win a portrait of your animal”

I am working on a book combining my three passions, art, animal communication, and cats! I am anticipating a June release, still wrapping up some of the artwork and final editing. Here is the cover draft (not quite finished): Today I am sharing one of the meditations that you can do with any animal (notContinue reading “Meditating with Animals”

My cat knows how to relax. He doesn’t consider it to be a life skill- it is just life. Often people call me to communicate with their animals about a certain subject. When I communicate with my cat on a daily basis it is usually about “nothing”. I tune into him and just enjoy thinkingContinue reading “Relax Like a Cat”

Update: This workshop has already happened. I only offer workshops every few years so nothing is booked yet. Follow this blog for future updates. I have exciting news! I am teaching an animal communication workshop this summer after a four year hiatus. This will be the only opportunity to learn from me this year soContinue reading “Learn Animal Communication”

February 2018 was officially my 20 year anniversary as a professional animal communicator. I had been doing a few consultations here and there for 2 years before I printed my first brochure but I don’t count those years as I was still in college at the time (I graduated in February 1998 from Goddard College).Continue reading “20 Years”

I think a lot about animals. Each week I consult with about 20 human clients and at least 40-50 animals. In order to connect with a new animal client I ask their person to describe them. I use their emotional link as they describe their animal to tune in to the animal. In the processContinue reading “Pet Portraits”

I am so fortunate to have my equines living in my backyard. I get to watch them graze from my office window (look at my amazing view!) And I can visit them throughout the day. Mornings are the most fun. As soon as one of the donkeys sees me moving around in the house (theyContinue reading “Donkey Love”

My Haflinger friend Mallory has struggled with a sore front right hoof on and off for years. (Don’t worry, the vet is working on it and she gets good care). She is typically very happy and willing to work with people but a few months ago she did not want to give the farrier herContinue reading “Equine Music Therapy”

The parking lot where we wait for the school bus was recently paved and lines were painted. Ichabod didn’t mind walking on the new pavement but he carefully stepped over the painted lines. I took him there daily and practiced walking across the lot, hoping he would overcome his reluctance to step on the lines.Continue reading “Step on a crack…”
